Thinkpad laptop W520 series with kernel: 4.15.0-51-generic x86_64 bits: 64

Following the latest dist-update the trackpoint and it's related keys don't work after return from suspend mode. Unloading and (re-)loading of psmouse fixes the issue but is only a workaround and somewhat annoying.

TLP is installed.

Any help highly appreciated. mgw

Having to unload and reload the psmouse driver when resuming from suspend is a common problem. You can automate the process with a script though:

Create a new file in the /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ directory containing:

#!/bin/bash

case $1/$2 in
 pre/*)
 echo "Going to $2..."
 # Place your pre suspend commands here, or `exit 0` if no pre suspend action required
 modprobe -r psmouse
 ;;
 post/*)
 echo "Waking up from $2..."
 # Place your post suspend (resume) commands here, or `exit 0` if no post suspend action required
 sleep 2
 modprobe psmouse
 ;;
esac

Make it executable:

sudo chmod a+x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/script-name

After the next reboot, the script will be active.

A script like this has worked for many people over the years. Of course your other option would be trying the previous kernel version and if it works sticking with it.

  @mgw I've never used configure-trackpoint. You would be best served posting a new question about that problem. In the meantime click the grey check mark next to the answer if it solves the current question. Thanks.
